Imagine how delighted I was to be able to open my Corel files. I'm sure I wouldn't be able to reregister the program so I went out to look for a replacement and found this. Just this week I had to replace my hard drive. Every time I launched the program the window popped up saying it was illegal but I could still do everything. Their final message to me was to say that they would disable my program and I would be able to view files, but not modify or print. I challenged them to find a receipt for everything they had purchased in the past 9 years but didn't get an answer to that. The final message I sent included pictures of the DVD case, the DVD, and the serial number stickers. I stated my copy was legal and tried every way to prove it was. In February 2019, I got an email from Corel stating they thought I was using an illegal version, and offered to sell me the current version for 1/2 price. Since 2010 I've been on Version X5, which was doing everything I needed it to do, so no need to upgrade.

I've been using CorelDraw since Version 3, about 1995 or so.
